PADLA

Plain And Direct Language Additions for Java

What is it?

PADLA is a collection of useful general-purpose utilities for Java aimed at fulfilling common needs. It uses functional approach intensively and attempts to follow OOP-approach as right as possible. In addition to common tools, it does also provide more specific ones aimed at maximal productivity.

Dependencies

As its dependencies PADLA uses:

• Compiletime:
  • Lombok for generating boilerplate stuff
  • Jetbrains Annotations for documenting code logic
• Testing:
  • Junit5 with related sub-tools for testing
  • Hamcrest for more creating more readable tests
  • Mockito for mocking in tests
• Additional (these are not inherited by default and are required only if using specific classes):
  • ASM for runtime class generation (if using classes annotated with @UsesBytecodeModification(CommonBytecodeLibrary.ASM))
  • Javassist for runtime class generation (if using classes annotated with @UsesBytecodeModification(CommonBytecodeLibrary.JAVASSIST))
• Optional (these are not required at all but allow some extra integrations and optimizations):
  • Caffeine for caching of internal components
